At two o'clock upwards . of forty children, whom her Royal .Highness the Duchess of \Toni: clothes and educates; chiefly at her own expence, sat down to an elegant ; dinner in the Steward's room, as they could not dine in the marquee erected for them on account of the wea ther. The DuchesS's domestics, dressed in their full liveries, 'waited on the children. At half past two o'clock her MAJESTY, accom panied by their Royal. Highnesses the ,Princesses AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH, MARY, and SOPHIA, ar rived, 'escorted by a party of the Royal Blues.—On their approach the DUKE'S band, who attended in full unitotm, played God save the King... Her MA. Jcs - tv, and the PRINCESSES were handed frorn their carriage by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of WALES and the Duke of YORK, and at 'half past three her MAJESTY, and all the Royal Family pre sent, sat down to a sumptuous dinner, served up on a superb service of gilt plate. The band was placed in an anti-room adjoining 'the dining-room, and played several martial airs during dinner. At six o'clock her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES set out for Windsor with the usual escort, and at seven o'clock 'dinner was served up in the principal dining-room for the 'Nobility and Gentry. The Duke's Library was cleared for dancing, and at nine dancing commenced. Soon after she Duchess,, the Prince of WALES, and all the Royal Dukes, with the-Nobility and Gentry, entered the Ball Room.— Her Royal Highness and the Duke of CLARENCE went down the dance to the favourite Air.cf, " I'll gang ne mair til you coon."---Colonel UPTON and ~Lady ANNE CULLEN SMITH followed. At twelve the whole of the company was ushered 'into the principal dining-room, where ,the merry dance was resumed, and kept up. with spirit until six o'clock in the morning, when the cowpauy be gan to retire. Corporal Curtis, of the Oxford Militia, :who was remanded on his petition to be sent to 'a condemned regiment, has, .fter receiving 260 lashes, had the prayer of his petition granted. The first Battaiion of the Mb Wgitnent marched yesietday into Portsmouth, where they are to.em. bark fDr Ireland. • Tie Oxford Regiment of Militia have arrived at Liu,le Hampton, Sussex, ',on Tliursday. General HAv; who has for set eral years'Com ft-landed at the Cavalry Depot at Maidstone, is to be relieved by Colonel PUITZLER, who has been in the Adjutant-General's Office at the. head of the re uniting department. . , Yesterday, in pursuance of an adjournment on the precedktg day, at a General Court-Maitial, held at Chelsea College, it again assembled in or der to further invesl),.ate the.chares preferr:d by Colonel. Smith, of the.2d TOWer Hamlets 11egituent of Militia, against Lieutenant Walter Lewis, belonging to the said regimen( of ; . when Major-General Turner was Lalled in, and stated, that on or about the 17tri June last, he was present at Coroners Smith's apartments in theTo,kee, when the prisoner, Li'eutemint Lewis, came there, dressed in his regimentals, but w:itiloui his sword'; and being required by his Colonel to again return to. his duty and take his i .sword, he (Lieutenant Lewis) refused So to do ; on which he - (Major- General Turner) admonished him to obey his Co - - loners order, warning him, at the same time, of the probable consequences of his refusal ; on which Lieutenant Lewis then left the room,-with" a seem ing determination not to comply With the Colonel's request. The next witness that Was examined was the Rev . Mr. Robson, of the Lambeth Police Office, Whitechapel, whose testimony occupied the atten tion of the Court. some time. After stating, that on or about .the lath of July, when he went to. the office in the morning,' he met Colonel Smith ; and on hiS being 'informed of Colonel Smith's presence, he sent a messacre.to Lieutenant Lewis, in,the Com mercial-road, desiring him to come to the office; which request the - prisoner te:ldily complied with, and in, a few minutes - came. On his arrival, he (Lieutenant Lewis) insisted that Mr. Robson would commit him as a deserter to -the Savoy ; but the Magistrate stated to . him, that, according to the Mutiny Act, sect. 9.2, he, .though acting as a Jus tice of the Peace, had no such _power to commit a commissioned Officer as a' deserter ; their power only related to ,men " enlisted as soldiers;" and conceiving that Lieutenant Lewis was not an en listed soldier, he had no such authority to comply with his desire. It also appeared, . that Colonel Smith then ordel - ed Serjeaut-Major Hughes, as sisted by 4' party of -the 2d Tower Hamlets Militia, to conduct Lieut. Lewis to his quarters at Deptford, and there to be kept in close arrest; which was accordingly done ; at the ptisoner's lodgings 'there were two sentinels placed over,him, the one in front of his lodgings, and the other stationed be hind, where he (Lieut. Lewis), was kept under close confinement. • Serjeaot-Major Hughes stated, that on the 12th of July, he secured Lieutenant Lewis in the Com mercial-road, and conducted him, under the idea of' being a deserter, to Lambeth Police Office that evening, before the sit ting• Magistrate, Mr. Curtis; when it appeared that lie, 'as well as his brother Magistrate, the Rev. Mr. Robson, was sensible that he had no such power as to commit a 'Com missioned Officer bearing his Majesty's commis sion, as a deserter; and therefore took Lieutenant Lewis's'word for his appearance at any further pe riod when called upon on this strange occurrence ; on which Sdrjeant-Major Hughes and the party wish him were then dismissed; but returned, to the Police Office the next morning, and, by the order of • their Colonel, conducted Lieutenant Lewis to his quarters at •Deptford.--The evidence on behalf of the prosecution being now closed, the Cana then adjourned till Monday, when Lieutenant Lewis will make his defence. The late Earl of BERKELEY, it is sa:d, .has left considerable property to his third son, provided that. he never attempts to dispute the pretensions of his elder brother to the family honours and fortune.

Parry and. Scott. Iu Pecetuber, 1807 . „ the plaintiffs quitted the con corn, giving up their interest in it to two Gentlemen of the name of Macnamara. Since quitting the concern, the plaintiff's had discovered that the de fendants had been in the use of gianting., hills under the firm of Quintin 'and Co. of th e old fi rm of the ,Company, and which it was stipulated, on the 'dissolution of the concern, should be discon tinued.. On complaining of this breach of agree ment to the defend,nts; the plaintiffs were assured that they should never more have occasion to com plain on the same head. With this the plaintiffs were satisfied at the tirne; but it was not long be fore they had reason to know that the pra6tice was still continued, in consequent e of u hich they found themselves necessitated to file the present &11. The ,application now made was for an injunction, re straining the defendants from granting - such bills in time coming. The irjuction. was accordingly granted. DE ?XP NNEVILLE V. DE MANNEVILLE• The plaintiff in this case was the father, - and the defendant was the mother of a female child, who was a Ward olCourt. The father, being ,a French man, was an alien enemy; and . the mother was an English ,woman. Disagreements. had arisen between the husband and wife, ;in consequence of which they sepiirated. The husband went abroad, and on his return; filed a bill for having his child dethrcrcd up to his custody ; or, . for having her placed 'in. such custody, as that access to • see and, converse with her should at all times be afforded to the father., An - affidavit had been filed by the father, which it would be improper-to make public and, on a reference to the Master, he had made a revort . in favour of the mother,• as being the person most, proper to have the custody of the infant—the lather having access to her at Certain times., ; Sir S. Rwiti.LY, tor, the defendant, now moved, that this Report of • the Master be approved of. Mr. BELL,'on the part of Mr. De Manneville,' begged that that the case be postponed till next pe tition day, he having. had no opportunity of pet tong, the:affidavits befOie the' Master. No inconvenience conk! 'result to the . Defendant from this"arrange went, she having at ' , present the 'custody' of tie child. The plaintitt, who:was'the father, -had sure-, ly a right to look into the evidetice on which the Mater, had acted, and to consider , illt could be r 6.- butted. • .• Sir SAMUEL RomiLY pleaded the anxiety , of mind iu which the mother was kept, - a, an argunvzint in 'tat our of the immediale corimideration, and it it should . dtst.rve it, approval, of the Master's report.

Having given him diretitioos to the place to which the coch:-. neal was to be taken l he presumed he had gone thither. Po inquiry, hoWever; he learnt the parcel had not been delivered. Much alarmed at the cites cumstance, he went back to London-bridge, and there met a man, with whom he had seen the pri r . soner conversing previous to his employing him.— Thii man gave the necessarV information for finding the culprit, and in the evening he .was apprehended at his lodgings. On being searched, 21. note was found in his pocket ; and on the person of his wife was also foUnd-fOur dollars and a considerable quan tity of halfpence. On being interrogated as to. the Manner by which so large a sum came into his poe session, he said, he had received it in advance frOM the Serjuant of his regiinent. The Serjeant, however; on being questioned 'vs to the truth or this' s tory, declared that he had not given him a farthing in advance, of erving at the same timeihat he %V a very bad c. haraaer. • The prisoner - pusitiVely denied having carried, any paicel Whatever On Thunday, and said he bad get the money found in his possession by hard .

It app,-_ared that the coachman having- missed the !parcel,' suspetled the. ,prisoner, who had come up_ a passenger by the coach, and observing hitn_entiir,,.the,.. privy in the yard, he follOWed him, and there.found the parcel in ,his possession. The package had the • appearance and form of those parcels in which Bank notes are usually, sent by the coaches, and this cit.- " cumstance probably induced tire prisoner io purloin it. On us being opened, however ; it was found to contain only a Liinbourcd cap, a. letter,. and half . guinea ; it-was diieC:led to a poor woman at Isling ton. The prisoner - was committed for trial. Having no,doubt come up to town on a plundering specula tion, his hopes-have • thus been nipped in the bud, and some of our honest citizens have, in all proba• ' oility, escaped the attacks of his ingenuity. Cuthetifie Rooks,• who was yesterday remanded for exposing her infant. on the steps of St. Andrew's Church, Holborn, was this day brought up again for' a further examination.. Her husband, a poor frith' labourer in the West.

He expressed hi 4 anxiety that the child should lie delivered into his care, observing, that it was the only wish of his heart to make it' cemfortable; as for his. wife he .did'nt care if the d-1 had her. The child 'was a,cordingly delivered to its father, and the aluther, after a severe adrounitton i 'was dis . - charged. .
